You must've read the text wrong; the text is making the claim that life is not that bad in Ukraine as it's worse somewhere else. Whether that is the case or not; Ukraine currently seems to be suffering from a somewhat nasty strain of the virus causing quite severe symptoms in many patients but I don't see that mentioned in the article.. Seems like the article is in fact downplaying the situation in Ukraine.. :)
